What Do the Backrooms Smell Like?

Hi good morning. I am so sleepy.

I had a mind-blowing short rib curry at Wayla last night, and then proceeded to doomscroll on my phone for 2 hours when I got home. Such is life.

I went out to dinner last night, and we discussed Barbault’s basket. I leave you with this as fodder…

And this as something I will not line up for but will think about:

1. Whomst gonna cop?

2. Is Manychat ruining comment sections? The answer is YES.

3. Looks like you can finally swap the audio from live (static) posts/carousels on Instagram. Great, fab, etc. but where was this feature when I needed it last week during [redacted]’s breakdown?!

4. On the topic of Instagram updates, you can now add a banner to your profile to show what book you’re currently reading.

5. Zara Larsson partnered with Depop to sell her Midnight Sun closet with all proceeds going to charity. 🌞🌅🌺🌊🌈🌴👙🐬⭐️

   

6. Love that Sephora is actually making content to support their Quiet Hours experience.

1. A great deep dive on all the Nike stumbles of late, that feel at some level existential.

2. Excellent.

3. Stella McCartney Bugaboo collab…say that five times fast!

4. This is cracking me up.

5. JKR’s rebrand of Coke is the hottest topic my side of LinkedIn (branding agency yappers). I’m curious to see what they do with my beloved Fridge Cigarette.

6. Honestly unsure how I feel about having my work fed to AI to tell people if it is or isn’t AI. lol.
